They’re too expensive to host and don’t have the funds to fly in an elite, brand name opponent. Beating STA annually will always help their cause regardless. Are they still not interested in the geico if they were to win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbiafan Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Lakeland is loaded for sure, should be highest ranked team from FL in these polls Schedule don't make a team elite, stud players do and boy are they loaded in talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just look to have a complete team. All this with their starting QB not playing. The Backup better not slip up when he comes in lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the starting QB out for the season? also, their OL looks massive. Do you have measurables on their OL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They declined the Geico Bowl, then declined ESPNs request to have them host a top OOS team for a kickoff game this season. They refused to switch out their game vs a lowly, irrelevant opponent. There’s only so many opptys you get at national exposure. IMO they don’t want it. They don't have to venture off from Fla to get national exposure as long as they take care of business in Fla. some of their Fla opponents will have played OOS games this year to use as a gauge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbiafan Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 That's basically a OOS game in a sense because IMG is essentially a national team that just has a campus in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if STA and plant dominate BC and Gonzaga who go on and have successful seasons. Lots of football to be played, but their schedule COULD propel them solidly inside the top 5.

This year, it remains to be seen. They beat DLS on the road in game one of the soph QB's career. So, that's not too bad if you're also going to claim DLS is elite. Atlantic looks like a really good team that they'd have to go through in the South. And, it remains to be seen if anyone will touch this IMG team. It may be that the 46-7 score over Venice looks no different than their scores against several other nationally rated teams. But, this year's 7A is different. Armwood is better than last year, and is 7A now. Armwood looks scary good. Ditto Edgewater. Both Armwood and Edgewater play OOS, so we'll learn something there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJB beats DLS 21-14 at a neutral site and they are the best team ever. STA beats DLS in Cali 21-14 and they are trash.
